All really great pairs. Now its in your hands to vote and see which pair should be crowned Underwear of the Month for February 2013!
It should be heralded as a triumph for the men’s Underwear Industry. A major underwear company ran a men’s underwear ad. Last year David Beckham ran one for his H&M line and now Calvin Klein this year. Men’s Underwear is coming into their own and going mainstream. Its no secret underwear is not for gay guys. This blog is the perfect example of what’s happening in the US. This past year we have gained more straight readers and have some straight staffers (the one with a great opinion on undies is Brandon). Everyone is finding out, men need to pay attention to their underwear.
You think that this would be a piece praising Calvin Klein for taking a risk in one of the most watched events of the year. However, I have a bone to pick with the “main stream” media reporting on the ads. The one I have the most problem with is the USA Today Ad Meter. Every year they rate the ads and post scores. Many companies want one of the coveted top 10 spots. They spend millions to reach that goal. Here’s my gripe, USA Today has the ad in the bottom 5 ads. Granted, I wasn’t expecting it to be in the top 10, but there were many worse ads in the bunch.
I feel because it was a men’s underwear ad . The main Part of this is the puritanical view of the US and men’s underwear. It’s not supposed to be talked about. However we can have Victoria Secrets ads and even scantily clad women but you can’t show a man. Calvin Klein made an ad that was in line with their brand. If you remember last year’s David Beckham ad, you never saw much below the waistband. It was like they were afraid to show his package. This ad showed the guy running and in the underwear. So that we have gained some ground.
I am curious to what you guys think of the ad. Did you like it? What Brand do you think should be the next to run a Super Bowl Commercial? One that comes to mind is what would Andrew Christian do for a Super Bowl Commercial?

Popular Aussie underwear brand 2wink Australia are spicing up their underwear range by adding two new designs of low rider trunks to its collection, entitled “Sexyboy”. The new ranges sparkle with the help of a metallic waistband with brand name 2wink embroided in black.
Red looks sexy in anyone’s eyes and the new ranges come in an Aussie desert red and popular boys color blue called Aussie reef blue. The sex appeal is in the low rider cut with the front pouch cupping and lifting your manhood whilst the cotton / spandex fabric snug your behind giving a firm grip. 2wink added some dazzle by including a metallic waistband that sparkles when captured by light. Adding a masculine look is the exposed external black cross-stitching and black binding around the leg holes with a sporty “v join” on the side.
The Sexyboy title is well suited to the low rider trunks, sex appeal is captured in every angle and certainly designed to attract attention. “We wanted a design for guys to look sexy and for them to show off their body.” says 2wink Australia co-owner Carl McNeill.
The 100% Aussie-made Sexyboy low rider trunks are made from a cotton / spandex mix. Each trunk retails for around $24.95 AUD (free worldwide shipping), and are available exclusively online at www.2wink.com.au.

The fourth week of the month means it’s time for boxer brief week on Underwear of the Week. The pair we chose this week was one with some color and fun waistband. That pair is the 2(X)ist No-Show Trunk. When we saw the the line, we knew that it had to be our underwear of the week. The colors are bright and fun! I think that when you love underwear like our readers, you don’t want anything boring. You want color, fun and not ordinary!
One thing that 2(x)ist is doing that I really like in the last few collections are the waistbands. They are not doing simple branded waistbands. They are using silicon imprints, colors and designs on the waistband. At times it seems like the waistband is most forgotten part of undies.
Reasons this pair is our Underwear of the Week!
Available on the 2(x)ist website for $28.00
